About the instructor

Ryan studied traditional art in the certificate program at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, earned his degree in being a poor poet at Antioch University, and picked up digital art tools in the certificate program at The Gnomon School of Visual Effects.
In 2004, he became the very first Product Manager for ZBrush at Pixologic where he worked with programmers and artists to fuse traditional and digital art processes. To put it another way, he's the guy who put the Rake brush in ZBrush. While at Pixologic, he consulted with industry heavy hitters such as ILM, Sony Pictures Imageworks, Bungie Studios, Ubisoft and Electronic Arts to integrate digital sculpting into their production pipelines.
Ryan is busy teaching the world to sculpt through his company YouSculpt LLC and their training site www.zbrushworkshops.com.
